The Laois Shopping Centre Senior Hurling Championship, contested for the Bob O’Keeffe Cup, is Laois’s premier club hurling competition and one of the best-attended club series in the county through the summer. Round 3 was played on 1 and 2 August, with Rosenallis edging out Rathdowney-Errill 1-19 to 1-18 in a high-scoring game, Borris-in-Ossory Kilcotton beating Baile na Coille 2-23 to 0-21, The Harps beating Portlaoise 1-23 to 1-15, and Abbeyleix St Lazarians beating Ballyfin 2-22 to 0-11, all played at O’Moore Park.
Round 4 follows on Friday 14 August, with The Harps taking on Rosenallis at O’Moore Park, the centrepiece of the round with throw-in at 7:30pm. It is a repeat pairing of two clubs who have been among the stronger sides in this year’s championship, and it is the standout fixture to catch if you only make one round-robin game before the knockout stages begin. O’Moore Park itself is Laois GAA’s main ground, floodlit, with capacity for around 22,000 and seating for roughly 6,500, one of the better county grounds in the country to watch club hurling.
Portlaoise sits almost in the centre of Ireland, just off the M7 motorway between Dublin and Limerick or Cork, about an hour from Dublin and 90 minutes from Limerick. The town is also on the Dublin Heuston to Cork and Limerick InterCity rail line, with regular Irish Rail services, making O’Moore Park one of the easier GAA grounds in the country to reach without a car.
Portlaoise has a good range of cafes, pubs and restaurants for a pre-match bite, and the Slieve Bloom Mountains are a short drive to the north-west if you want to make a day of your visit. There is more to see in Portlaoise and across Co. Laois.
